By Helen Adams


For many caterers, outdoor functions may be very scary. This is because your clients expect nothing but perfection from you. They pass on the burden to you, and therefore everything will require you to use your experience and a lot of detailed planning to make the occasion a success. The preparations may not be straightforward, but the guide below can help you in preparing for an outdoor event catering Beverly Hills CA.

To make sure that you get a good and delicious menu, you should work with a reasonable budget. If a client brings you a budget that you cannot operate with, it is good to explain to him or her why there is need to increase the budget. If you are lucky to have a chance to prepare a budget with your client, include everything you might need to ensure the guests enjoy their meals.

The second thing you should do after the budget is to ensure that you know the location of the event. Do a pilot study to the place the occasion is to be held so that you determine what to provide. You might decide to use a live station catering or a buffet. Knowing the location is also helpful in deciding how you are going to prepare meals to avoid food spoilage during travel.

You do not want a situation whereby guests are lined up for food, and then you realize plates or spoons are over. To avoid such cases, bring enough catering equipment for the function. The location of the occasion might have limited kit, and so you should confirm those that are available and decide whether to add some more or leave it that way. If your equipment is not enough, you can consider hiring from outside.

Such functions require that you double your security since it is not like an indoor event. Ensure that your fridges are all functioning and enough to store all the food. You also need to be particular with food temperatures and how the preparation will be done to avoid food going bad and poisoning the guests. If the food is secure, then the occasion is going to stand out.

To make your work easier, you should consider having a time plan. It helps you to manage the schedule and avoid guests waiting for long to take meals. You need to use the time plan to get things in order, and after accomplishing a certain item, cross it and proceed to the next. This way, nothing will be delayed or omitted.

Getting staff for an outdoor event is another thing that requires preparation. In case your full-time employees are not enough for the function, you should consider getting some from outside. But make sure that they are well trained so that they cannot destroy your reputation and that of your full-time staff.

Last but not least, have in mind that you need to make the event a success since you are the person in charge of the most special day in the life of your client. The occasion is meant to be outstanding, and you are the person to ensure that comes true. The tips given can help you achieve this.
